Orly Calypso Breeze & Sky Blue-Pink, Oops, Another Small Haul!

Above: I wanted to place these pictures side-by-side so you could see the duo chrome colors and the way it looks in different lighting. It can appear as a violet shade, a light blue and a gray blue. Click on pic for details. This is Orly's Sky Blue-Pink over Calypso Breeze.

Above & Below: Orly Calypso Breeze with flash above, no flash below. A royal blue that is bright, but still a bit muted. It applied perfectly in 2 coats.

I actually *had* to get some things at Sally Beauty yesterday because I had a gift card to use as well as my 15% discount which would have expired at the end of the month, and we can't allow that to happen! I picked up some of the California Mango products which work very well to keep your hands in shape, another bottle of the Miracle 7 hair leave-in (this compares and is even better than the product "It's a 10" and is less expensive) and of course, some nail polish. Today I used Orly Calypso Breeze from the Tiki Time collection and then layered Sky Blue-Pink over it just to see what that shade was like. It's a duo chrome, looking a bit grayish-blue in the bottle with pink and gold flash. Once applied, it shows up differently in various lighting, as you can see in the picture. I now realize that it is not as sheer as I thought it might be and is plenty pigmented to wear all by itself. It's a very nice color, and I notice the front of the bottle says 'French Manicure' although I don't see it as such. This one and the other Orly 'French Manicure' one I picked up, Golden Halo, had red price tags marked at $2.99, but the sale girl told me all red tagged items are 1/2 off this weekend, so that's only $1.50 each. I hope you're all enjoying the start of the long weekend! Our weather here is in the low 70's and sunny, so I'm not complaining!

Thanks, Lucy! I like the Sky Blue-Pink the best or these 2 polishes! Hope you're enjoying the weekend :)

Tali~thank you, I didn't quite mean to get all of this...!

Olivia~I'll try and get to some of the Finger Paints over the next week.

Chrissy~thank you :) I hope the bright orange isn't a streaky one :/

Tuli~glad you like the Calypso Breeze. It's a bit of a different blue to me.

Kae~I was happy when she told me they were 1/2 off the discounted price! The hand treatments do smell like mango and they are more intensive than others I've tried. My hands are messed up from working in the yard, so they need major help!
